Essentially, this student would be in charge of the = GIS component of a larger project that will also involve field = characterization of cottonwood stand composition and condition. The = student would enroll in the graduate program of the Department of = Biology at the University of South Dakota. =20 http://www.usd.edu/biol/ http://usd.edu/biol/graduateprogram.cfm =20 Interested students should contact me as soon as possible, as the window = for enrolling for this summer/fall is coming to a close (although March = 15 is not a firm deadline). In your email, please indicate your = research interests, your expertise/experience in GIS, your availability, = and information on how to best contact you. If possible, please also = include a copy of your CV or resume, with email addresses or phone = numbers of potential references. =20 Regards,
